It was night, dark clouds covered the moon, and a cool breeze was blowing.

The darkest and most secluded corner of the eldest princess's mansion in Zhaoping. In a cramped and dimly lit hut, faint sobs were heard frequently. She had been locked up in this hut for two days, and she had eaten nothing for the two days, except for the water and cakes that Qingyun had secretly sent her to fill her stomach.

After the people of the harem dragged her here two days ago, she never appeared again, although she was only locked in the hut and never used capital punishment on her, but this kind of dark day, not knowing whether the road ahead is dead or alive, will not be inferior to the pain caused by capital punishment.

With tears on her face, she leaned against the cold and damp wall in despair, her eyes fell sadly to the high window on the wall, looking at the bleak moonlight, and her heart and body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

Her parents died when she was a child, and when she was eight years old, she took refuge in her uncle's house with her infant brother. Although she and her younger brother were taken in and placed, they had a cold and stiff attitude and treated their two siblings very harshly.

Especially my aunt, when my parents saw her in the past, they didn't smile and blindly flatter. But since her parents left, and after she and her younger brother lived in her house, she treated her like a girl. Although she was sad about her uncle and aunt's cold treatment of her sister and brother, she still knew what she should do, and she never complained about it.

She thought that life was like this, although she was not well fed and clothed, but she finally had a place to stay, which was already excellent. She always had endless work to do during the day, although it was hard and she often cried secretly, but she never hated her uncle and aunt. After all, eating people, eating and living in people's houses, these are all deserved.

She only hopes that such hard days will pass soon, she will grow up soon, and then marry a simple and diligent husband, who can like her brother, and agree that she will marry her brother with her.

However, half a year after the death of her parents, when she lived at her uncle's house for less than five months, one day her aunt wanted to take her to the city to catch the market, she was surprised and delighted, and felt that her aunt, who had treated her well and smiled at her, had returned, so she followed her with joy. But who would have thought that she would never come back after this trip, she was sold by her own aunt.

This sale, she did not see Xiaojin again for many years, or one day in the first month of the previous year, after her repeated begging and bribery with money, the housekeeper of the Teaching Workshop Department finally allowed her to leave the house. In this way, after five years, she finally saw her brother again.

The younger brother is no longer the infant baby he was back then, but a little doll who is five years old but looks like a little doll less than three years old. His face was white and bloodless, his dark eyes were hollow, and he was always sitting alone on a small pestle in the hut looking out the window.

Listening to his aunt, he often sat all day, silent, like a fool!

She almost went crazy and had a hard fight with her. In the end, due to time constraints, she hurriedly left the money she had saved for several years, and begged her aunt to ask him to hire a doctor for treatment.

To this day, she doesn't know if her aunt has ever asked her brother for a doctor. Only she knows that her brother is still sick, and the medicine does not leave his mouth......

She knew that as long as she died, then her brother would be finished, and if her uncle and aunt couldn't get any benefits, they would definitely attack her brother! Will use him for money! So she can't die, and if she does, what will happen to her young brother?

It's just that she is in adversity now, how can she get out?

She had tears in her eyes, she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it. Extremely helpless......

"Knock-"

As he was wiping away tears, there was movement outside the house. Her heart trembled fiercely, and her face turned even paler: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

It was the voice of Light Yun, her stiff body slumped down for a moment, and she slowly came to the back of the door by holding on to the wall, and said in shock against the door: "Light Yun, why are you here, the sky is so dark......"

There was a door between them, and the door was heavily locked. Qingyunsu is good friends with her, the two are the same age, and the relationship is naturally good after seven years together. She came to the Eldest Princess's Mansion before her, and she knew more things than her, especially about the beauties who went to the General's Mansion and returned from failure, each with the same fate.

It was difficult to come over with too many pairs of eyes staring at her during the day, so I had to rush over to see her while it was dark: "If I don't come tonight, I'm afraid it will be too late until tomorrow!" Although the light rhyme voice was suppressed very softly, the words spoken were very strict.

The jade slave was already desperate and helpless, and when he heard this, he said eagerly: "What do you mean by this? But the eldest princess has spoken, is she going to put me to death? As soon as she finished speaking, she fell to the ground with a weak body, raised her neck and couldn't stop looking at the sky and crying, "Why am I so miserable......

Qingyun's eyes were also red, but it was only for a moment, and after a while, she put away her tears, leaned against the crack in the door and said, "Don't think about it, the eldest princess won't pay attention to these little things at all." I'm afraid Mama Hao and Mama Wu will come here tomorrow, you must be careful......" She couldn't say any more, and closed her eyes fiercely, "I'll go first." ”

......She pressed her face against the door, and the night was so quiet that she could hear her departing footsteps clearly. She is gone, she doesn't blame her, it's great that she can come and see her and bring her food, she should be grateful to her.

She closed her eyes slightly, sat on the cold ground with her knees folded, and buried her head in low tears.

Although she kept praying in her heart that time would pass slowly, that it would be later in the morning, that what should come would always come, and that she was powerless to resist on her own.

As Qingyun said, Mama Hao and Mama Wu really came. The jade slave shrank into the corner of the wall in fear, and the closed door was opened, and the bright light shone for a moment. Came in, stung her eyes. She saw two expressionless old women walk in, one of them carrying a wooden box, and with every step she took, there was a crashing sound in the box.

The voice struck her heart, making her even more frightened.

Mama Hao just said, "Close the door", and the next moment the door was closed. The light in the hut dimmed again, and the jade slave was terrified, and she slowly stood up against the corner, feeling that it seemed to be safer.

The two grandmothers ignored her, and they hadn't even glanced at her since they came in, and the silence in the hut chilled her. There was no voice, only two grandmothers put down the wooden box, opened it, and took out a silver needle about a finger long, threading a thread that she could not name, all kinds of subtle sounds......

She didn't know what they were doing, let alone what they were going to do to her next, only fear and trembling.

The two grandmothers wore an extremely long thread, and then Mama Wu took out a piece of wax from the box and stuck the long thread in the wax seam, as if she was waxing the thread to lubricate it. After making a qiē preparation, Mama Hao first spoke: "Press it on the couch." ”

Mama Wu nodded, walked over and grabbed her wrist, seeing that she was old, but her strength was inferior to that of Yunu, a young girl. It was very easy to press the person to the couch.

It is said that it is a couch, but in fact it is just an old and moldy couch, and I don't know how many people have been lying on the white bedding, and the traces left are not known whether it is blood or something......

The jade slave was desperately struggling, but it was useless, Mama Wu still easily lifted her long skirt, and under the other party's struggle and crying, she stretched out an old hand full of pleats to lift her petticoat.

"Nope! Don't—"

Although she didn't know what the other party was going to do to her, it was not a good thing after all, she grabbed her petticoat tightly with both hands, and kicked her feet wildly. No matter how experienced Mama Wu is, she can't withstand her struggles like this, so she kicked her several times, and raised her hand angrily to slap her.

"A little, you'll be happy in a while!"

Yunu spat out a mouthful of blood, and didn't dare to kick her again, but begged her mournfully: "Mamama...... Please, jade slaves, please...... Let Yunu see Master Dou again! On the one hand, the jade slave begs you......"

"Lord Dou?" Mama Wu said expressionlessly, "Master Dou, you can see it when you say it, you useless little cheap hoof, you have a good skin!" I think you should hurry up and obediently accept the punishment, get rid of it as soon as you finish sewing, and vote for a good family in the next life! ”

"Sewn?" She keenly grasped the words, and the next moment she was terrified, trembling and said, "Sew, sew...... what is it" She is not stupid, the other party has been preparing to lift her petticoat, the answer is already very obvious, they are going to sew her there!

"Where else can I sew? Naturally, it's between the legs,......" Mama Hao said, her tone calm as if she was saying that she was eating something tonight.

Obviously, this is not the first time she has done this kind of thing, the eldest princess has sent so many beauties before and after, and none of them can escape this torture. As for why they sewed it up, neither of them knew so far, but it was always wrong to follow the will of the eldest father, so why do you want to do so much?

The jade slave was so frightened that she almost fainted, and her tears rushed to fall, how could there be such a terrible torture in the world, she didn't dare to think about it at all.

The next moment, she began to struggle desperately as if she was crazy, kicking and kicking, tearing and biting, and her mouth was still screaming: "Lord Dou! I want to see Lord Dou! Jade slave can...... The jade slave will definitely be able to get the general's heart...... I beg you to spare the Jade Slave...... Give Yunu another chance...... Jade slave can! ”

The two grandmothers were taken aback, and Mama Wu's originally angry face showed hesitation for a while: "This, can you send someone to sue Lord Sù Dou?" ”

Mama Hao also heard the words shouted out of her mouth clearly, and when her cloudy eyes met her face again, even if she was so miserable at the moment, she was still amazingly beautiful, and couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then nodded: "Send someone to pass the word quickly, and not a word will be dropped." ”

Mama Wu nodded and immediately sent someone to do it.

Dou Ahuai was serving the eldest princess to breakfast at the moment, and after listening to the palace people's word-for-word advice, he muttered: "Your Highness, what do you think? ”

Since the confrontation with the concubine two days ago, the eldest princess Ji Rong's face has never had a smile, but now after listening to what the palace people said, she sneered unexpectedly: "This jade slave is indeed an accident, this palace has sent countless beauties back and forth, and it has never angered the concubine." Only this time, the colt not only sent people back in person, but also dared to threaten the palace, and even ......"

She glanced at the little palace man, and the other party's body trembled, and then retreated. Ji Rongfang continued: "I even dare to choke the neck of this palace!" If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so you might as well leave her and use it again. After a pause, "Is the news from yesterday accurate?" ”

Dou Ahuai hurriedly replied: "Quasi, the eighth day of October is Yin Shu's birthday, and the hunt is set on the day before her birthday." In addition to the horses and Yin Shu, Mei Yanfeng and Yin Cheng and others will also accompany them. Say yes......" Glancing at the other party, Ji Rong frowned, and she hurriedly said, "It was the idea of the colt, to personally hunt a white fox for Yin Shu, and she will make a cloak for ......"

Ji Rong snorted coldly: "He is attentive." And he said, "Okay, I'll give her another chance, and let her appear in the hunting ground on the seventh day of the tenth month." This palace wants to see if what she says can be true or false. ”

After two days of darkness, the jade slave was finally able to step out of the gloomy hut and into the courtyard and see the light again. Qingyun helped her, and when she described her as a haggard wolf, she comforted: "It's all over......"

Yunu didn't want her to worry, so she let out a soft "um".

However, she knew in her heart that not a single qiē had passed. She didn't want to die, firstly, Xiaojin still needed her, and secondly, she couldn't bear him by herself, so she wanted to do her best to live. For myself, but also for Xiaojin......
